Unlock the Potential of Your Donations: Donate Non-registered public securities

You can make a significant impact in Christian education without dipping into your disposable income when you donate non-registered public securities such as shares, mutual funds, bonds or REITs.

Instead of selling your appreciated securities, you can donate them directly to the Christian School Foundation. This effective and smart philanthropic strategy not only maximizes the value of your donation but also provides significant tax benefits making it a win-win for both you and the Christian school or charity of your choice.

When you donate your securities, you avoid paying capital gains tax and the charity receives the full market value of your securities. This results in a larger gift and greater impact, benefiting the causes you care about.

This is the most tax-efficient method to donate to any charity. You will receive a donation receipt for the full market value of your non-taxed securities that you can apply to your other taxable income. Any unused donations can be carried forward for up to five years.

Using this option, you can use your non-cash assets to donate to your favourite charity or Christian school and put your tax savings towards your disposable income.

Donating securities might sound complex, but it is easier than you think. The Christian School Foundation has a process in place to facilitate these types of donations. You would need to provide some details on the securities and complete a form for your financial advisor and the Foundation will handle the rest.

Donating your securities today can help start or build a Christian school’s tuition assistance fund, be used towards a current or future campaign, or your donation can flow directly to your Christian school(s) to be used in their current operations. Your donation can be forwarded to several different schools and charities and used for several different purposes. We work with you to ensure your philanthropic goals are met.
